Abstract

Variable configuration vehicle comprising a chassis having a front axle (2) provided at opposed ends of a pair of wheels (21,22) and a rear axle (3) also provided with a conventional pair of wheels (31,32) joined to each other by a plurality of substantially longitudinal side members. Each axle is equipped with a telescopic shaft which allows each axle to go from a closed position having a predetermined width to an open position having a width considerably greater than the width in closed position.
